STARTING Before operation, check the correct operation of protective and safety devices, flexible hydraulic hoses and oil level! Before each use check if the saw blade is attached properly. During the first assembly of the machine check the length of the cardan shaft and adjust if necessary! Determine the exact length as follows: 1.
MACHINE CONTROL 1. Operating procedure The machine can only be operated by strictly one person. Be careful and make sure there are no other persons present around the machine. 2. Control of operational functions of the machine 3. Instructions for splitting Only use firewood with a diameter of 5–40 cm.
5. Adjusting the firewood length To adjust the firewood length, the leaning hatch must be in the “left-hand” position. Unscrew the two head bolts. Adjust the hatch to reach the required firewood length (you can use the measurement scale on the machine.
7. Conveyor belt Conveying position When the conveyor belt is in operating position, you only need to activate the conveyor drive lever, which remains in position when activated. If the conveyor belt is jammed, it can be rolled backwards with the same lever, which must be pushed downwards;...
Adjusting the conveyor belt tension Eventually the conveyor belt may become loose due to operating load. In this case the tension of the conveyor belt must be readjusted. Put the conveyor belt into the operating position. Slightly loosen the fastening screws (1) on both sides of the conveyor mechanism. ...
1. Transport with the three-point hitch attachment of the tractor Attach the machine with the three-point hitch and lift it with the hydraulic system of the tractor. If the rear tractor lights are covered, a warning light must be installed at the back side of the machine (e.g.

Before each use, check if the saw blade for traces of grease or resin, if the saw blade is dirty it must be cleaned with appropriate cleaning detergent.
Disconnect the machine from the power source or disconnect the cardan shaft! Only qualified personnel are authorized to work on electrical equipment! Never operate the machine without protective devices. Always use original spare parts UNIFOREST. LUBRICATION Oily and greasy parts and used oil must be disposed of according to local regulations.
2. Oil change a) Hydraulic oil changing The hydraulic oil must be changed after first 5000 operating hours or every two years. It is not necessary to change the oil sooner, because the final factory check includes the parallel flow filtration which removes all dirt particles. ...
b) Recommended hydraulic oils Drives: SAE 90 or similar oil System oil: Oil viscosity: 46 c) Oil filter The filtration insert must be replaced with every oil change. There is no reason for concern if you encounter some aluminium chips, they normally occur when the pump is started.
SAW BLADE CHANGING Always wear protective gloves when handling saw blades! Do not exceed maximum number of revolutions of the saw blade recommended by the manufacturer! Loosen the head screws (1) on safety door (7) and remove the protective plate (3). ...
Recommended saw blade Manufacturer: Dimensions: Uniforest 1000 x 6,0 x 40 Z 80 W Other saw blades with the same properties can be used! Only use saw blade which comply with the standard EN 847-1. Saw blade protection In accordance with the standard, the saw blade is protected with wooden inserts.
2. Replacing the V-belt of a cardan-shaft drive and electric motor Remove the cover and the cardan shaft protection. Loosen six head screws (2) on the protective plate (1) and remove it. Loosen the safety hexagon nut (5) on the tensioning screw. ...
ELECTRIC MOTOR DRIVE 1. Starting the machine with an electric motor Connect the machine to the power network: Network voltage 400 V (50Hz) Circuit breaker in front of the motor 32 A (tripping characteristic C) Use a power supply cable with a minimum diameter of 6 mm Main switch: Pay attention to the rotation direction of the electric motor (arrow on the motor) If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, follow the instructions below:...
2. Overview of the electric box content When you check the operation, you must also check the circuit breaker (F1), which is installed in the electric box. Then check the bimetal, which should be set to the maximum value of 32A. The bimetal switch must be on.
